Rogers given a chance, Milner in (both good starts)! Now 2 more signings and tha should be it so as to enable the gel to settle allow those that never got into their game last season to prove a whole host wrong - none became bad players overnight just need to gel as team. One forward (I'd like Dzeko in a Sterling deal) and a CB will be just right. Good start though!

Another CB!!!?? You're right on the players not becoming bad over night, they became 'bad' due to gross mismanagement from Rodgers, in no way would it surprise me to see it happen again too.

If you had said GK instead of CB (we have 12) i'd have clicked agree

Let me correct what I said. A CB with leadership skills - a talker a leader in a position appropriate for such. Now you could say that could be avoided by putting a GK in there with that very skill but that would mean the GK you suggest being the number one not a Brad Jones replacement. Simon did well towards the end and perhaps deserves a chance but if you are suggesting he becomes number 2 then ok as long as we have a leader in that back 5 (in a central position of either CB or GK) then I can live with that. But not a GK that can't offer leadership - no! On the Brendon thing (previous comment) I am neither a lover nor a loather right now. Last season was not entirely his fault just like the season before was not entirely down to him nor the multiple seasons since we last won league was down to any of the prior incumbents! I'd put a lack of continuity, of players and management, down to a lot of teams inability to develop strength and more importantly consistency. So I say give longevity a chance - not Spurs-like knee-jerking!

To be hones SB, I didn't see any positives from last season, it wasn't down to being unlucky the team from defense to offense didn't look anywhere near cohesive, tactically outdone time and time again and players poorly utilised, performances were entirely woeful at times and bang average at best. I do worry about the coming season, I actually worry Rodgers does well enough that the owners leave him where he is but well off being competitive and actually challenging for a top four place. I've completely lost faith personally.

We share a passion for this great club Licky though I how we also share expectations (mine is far from just top four but being the best again justified by the only trophy that demonstrates a season of consistency - something NO MANAGER has been able to get us to for 20+ years)! Don't get me wrong I am not criticising a number of managers in that statement BUT I am a collection of things and one major thong is a lack of patience through no continuity. So that has been the consistency in our approach - ie a lack of consistency - we are reacting like a bottom half club not a top club. You may have lost faith in one person but personally I believe it goes a lot deeper than that and I wod be willing to wager anyone that dispensing with Rogers and bringing in a Klopp or a Ancelotti or even a Mourinho tbh would not "alone" change fortunes around certainly not at the pace some seem to expect. So I say don't change too much just a bit more strength and depth in certain playing portions and give a bit of continuity a go!
